Bravo! One of my canary projects for LLMs has been a spot color / dithering tool; very much an amateur screen printer, and it seemed a way to spark my own interest to do some multicolor prints. Suffice to say the models couldn’t handle it, but I haven’t checked in a generation or two, so this is great motivation to try again!

Kudos! I was just thinking about having. Laude write something like this for me. Not just within a project but the 5 different ones I have open at the same time. Too much of a good thing etc.

I’ve been keeping an eye on these open source block based apps, and this kind of feels like you set out to scratch your itch and managed to release the most feature complete and polished one out there. Well done!

Something about SQLite at the core just seems to drive a direction I like, and pushes an open ethos. (Shout outs to Grist in this arena as well.) So much power in such simple interfaces… and when I saw you could just drop in your own SQL into Eidos, I shed a tear at the graveyard of my never-quite-working attempts at data-fying Obsidian.

I think I actually HAVE fzf installed, thus my first experience w/ Ctrl-R was even better! I really haven't fully grok'ed fzf yet though, probably should look up some guides.

Here because.... I didn't know of ctrl-R. What a life changer (although I had an alias for "hg" to "history | grep" :) )

A good customizable waveform creator is on my holy grail list. (That can be injected into a workflow like this.) ffmpeg's built in stuff is good, but I want something a bit more like SoundCloud, or...well something with options anyway :)

Agreed. It's most fun when someone explores something that they couldn't normally pull off on stage. We've had spouses, pets, elaborate visual aids. I look forward to being surprised each time.

Warning for plug below my main comment :) Not trying to piggyback this post, but share my experiences doing something in the same area.

We've been doing something similar to support comics who lost some or all of their paying gigs; but using the alternate model of free-to-watch, donations-welcomed. We're also still working through the best format; some performers work great in a "vacuum" (and/or create new styles for the medium). Interaction through the chat is also fun, but as mentioned, not suited for real time.

We've also got some other ideas to increase the interaction being tinkered with. We've been able to really help some folks, whether through monetary means or just to give them a place to perform they wouldn't otherwise have. (Honestly, the most feedback we get from performers is how thankful they were to just get to perform again, a feeling of normalcy, such as we have these days.)

Second warning, plug below :) This is completely a labor of love, so feel free to drop by, or not. Even if you just watch clips and have suggestions, we'd appreciate it. All proceeds go directly to the performers, this not a business venture in anyway. Up/downvote away, no hard feelings!

Down for this also. If you have a way to sign up for testers etc I'd be up. (Down, up, what is language? :) )

ManyCam is an option, though I'm not really sure how reliable/performant.

For newbies, it also comes with a ton of demo content and setups (pre-roll, transition, etc), to ease the learning and spin-up curve. Agree that doesn't make it more robust (see my other comment). I have no affiliation with either project, just an Old Guy learning/doing some streaming projects.

One example: keeping Preview and Program windows open (common for realtime stream prep/mgmt) on Mac with OBS will kill your frame rate (dropping 20%+ of frames) due to GPU rendering issues in Qt [1]. Streamlabs has no issues with this. I guess there's a question about whether that == "robust", but in terms of the app's features performing as it should, I would guess so.

Some simple/weird workarounds: literally move the Preview window offscreen, and/or open a Windowed Projector (popup) for Preview (but again keep Preview off screen).

[1] Can't find the thread on it now, but it's something about the way the two views are structured in a container

Similar comments here with Model 3. In a way it's almost incidental that it's an electric car.

When I had a Model S loaner, I was blown away how much they've simplified just from S to 3: wide open interior, reduction in the [already spartan] amount of physical controls. (I also briefly had a Kia loaner for that same visit, and I felt like a monkey trying to operate an Apollo spacecraft, unable to find the switches and dials for everything.)

Tesla, whether for cost cutting or genius, simply said "do you really need all of these manual/physical controls, or can it be A) done automatically via software, or B) put onto a single screen?", and it, in my opinion, has worked quite well. Yes the "AI" wipers took time to come around, and you hit the occasional UI bug, but it's far and away a very acceptable trade off for a magnitude more space in the cabin and (if you appreciate such things) clean, simple, lines throughout. Even the silly flip down LED visor mirrors delight people the first time they use them in my car.

AP/FSD may never get where they claim, but I've taken many-hundred mile trips with AP on (on highways), and even my drive to work is immensely better with AP in long stretches, so I consider it well worth the [AP] cost. As ridiculous as it sounds, all those micro-movements on the road do add up and take a toll on you during drives.

I actually drive fairly conservatively (turning into my "slow lane is fast enough" father), but for demos and when I do really want to pass someone, the acceleration and instant power still marvels. :)

It's chock full of those little touches that you didn't know you needed, like generating <language of choice> code snippets, being able to copy and paste responsive request/response elements...I even realized yesterday you can paste a JSON clip into the JSON request body tab (which is an active native control, not just a rich text area). I've had a few crashes but it seems to save everything quite well. And imports Postman (and others) quite well!

Same. 99% of my usage is through AirConnect

Yep it's just a slider in the UI and app. I generally leave it set to 80% and then 100% for big trips.

I've had two turbinate reductions, a UPPP, and balloon sinuplasty, and I still don't feel right about my nasal breathing. Dr's have pretty much given up at this point.

The strips eventually ruin my skin, or don't stick through the night (they come off and eventually stick to my foot, or my cats...). So I finally turned to "nose cones". The ones on Amazon and the local pharmacies are barely passable, so I did the unthinkable in this day and age and ordered some "Max Air Nose Cones" directly from the manufacturer. Don't want to seem a link shill, so Google/Duck, or just find it as the domain name is the product name. I use the Max Air for exercise (clear) and the Sinus (beige, a bit more stiff) for sleep.

Still not a perfect solution, but cheaper, reusable (still on first set), and less skin irritation than other solutions.

There are 1400 reviews but the "initial selection" of ~8 Top Reviews has almost 50% negative commentary. I'm trying to learn more and more to look at the bars on the left; in this case, 92% are 4 and 5 star, and factor in that most people with no issues don't write reviews at all. So my very random modifier would make that something like 95% positive and take a chance on it. This assumes you don't get the dice rolled to a counterfeiter when you happened to load the page.

It would be great if you could filter the reviews not only by the form factor (8 pack, 1 pack, etc.) but also the vendor. If anyone at Amazon is reading this...

TBH I recently bought an end table that had 0 reviews, and it was kind of an adrenaline ride. "I'm supposed to judge this product simply by what I see on the page, and my own investigative capabilities? How quaint!". :)

Rule of thumb (Keto for mostly 15+ yrs, from 300lbs to 180) is 2-3 days, and at least Atkins version is those 2-3 days at <20 carbs.

"Being in ketosis" is hard to track; the urine test strips are helpful but not always accurate. Someone came up with a breath analyzer at some point but I lost track of the project.

Some recent stuff has shown that a 24-36hr fast can "kick start" ketosis as well; anecdotally it seems to work for me, but again I have to kind of go by feel. (Or if I note that I suddenly drop the 3-5 lbs of water weight that came on when out of ketosis.)

Funny enough, I've been about to embark on something similar, for a project I contribute to that makes a Raspi Zero W into a "smart USB drive" for the built-in Tesla dashcam:

https://github.com/cimryan/teslausb

(Props to Cim and Ray who are doing a ton of work making the project go, also!)

The goals/advantages, vs just using a USB thumb drive:

- will connect to your wifi network (when detected) and copy off your saved dashcam files (over CIFS, SSH, others) - fixes any FAT filesystem errors on the virtual USB drive (presented to the host using g_mass_storage) automatically; some Tesla software versions had/have a bug that left the filesystem dirty on shutdown, rendering some thumb drives unreadable until formatted again

- (in process testing) uses BTRFS to keep the drive online while taking snapshots to do the file copies (and other neat things I have planned, like extending the 1-hour rolling buffer that Tesla uses by copying off files older than 1 hr into a secondary backing store on disk to be copied off later)

- automated (headless) setup by putting a configuration file in /boot (including wifi setup)

- quite a few more ideas to come; love to hear more brainstorms too. Maybe with a little more work it's worth its own Show HN? :)

I've learned a lot about how little I remembered about bash, how Raspbian images are built, setting up Jenkins for automated builds, even controlling the LED on the Pi to show progress of headless setup. (Sometimes it's the little things...)

On the to-do list was something exactly like this post: provide a way to get to the files if you are away from your home network, and/or don't have a computer with a USB or SD reader handy. Say, if you had just gotten in an accident and wanted to get to the files pronto. So, a way to trigger the Pi popping into AP mode was my next area of exploration; timely! I was actually exploring having your phone make a BT connection that would cause the host to switch configs (either automatically, or using BT PAN. (And a web UI to grab files, make settings changes, etc.) Good thoughts on security in some of the comments, and glad to see others have thought through this.

Thanks to OP and others; I think there's a solution one way or another in several of these project ideas! And, as customary, PR's welcome :)

Yes. Touch (create) an empty file called "ssh" in /boot, and wifi details in wpa_supplicant.conf as mentioned elsewhere in the thread. Very handy!

Correct, it works fine with Stretch Lite.

Interestingly enough, I've recently found a couple of similar triggers. (Lifelong sleep issues, getting and staying asleep.)

- Thinking about a conversation (real or otherwise) between two OTHER people (I can't be involved), or - counting down backward and visualizing the numbers, but I have to visualize them floating above and behind my head (i.e. not floating in space, or looking directly at them (figuratively speaking)

Both scenarios, when they engage, seem like they trigger an almost physical sensation of the brain shifting modes. I'm sure someone has a reasoned explanation for this, but, crazy as it sounds, when I notice the thoughts seem to be "behind my head" I know it's working and I'll drop off to sleep shortly after. (This is imperfect, and I still don't have restful sleep, but anything that aids is still helpful.)

Side note, for anyone wondering like I was, the visualization tool is Cloudcraft: https://cloudcraft.co/ . I'd love to have something similar for doing isometric views of any kind of diagramming.

I know this isn't the point of the comment, but Yoink works perfectly as an intermediary for this. I use it dozens of times a day for various things but this one in particular is a lifesaver.

Thanks! The question about long distance sharing is a tricky one, since data on the leaky internets etc. I suppose you could do something via a hop through Dropbox (or equiv) since the actual content is already encrypted. That assumes the encryption never gets broken, but when quantum computers take over the world, a naughty video is probably going to be the last of our problems :).

Unless I'm reading wrong, the videos aren't gone after 7 days; the key grant is valid for 7 days before it expires (or if it is revoked). Deleting the key, or deleting the video, seem to be the permanent actions that removes the videos; otherwise they are available indefinitely. I'm sure @nathankot can clarify here.

I've been meaning to do this forever using LastPass. If they'd integrate something similar that'd be nice and more likely to trust it.

Ditto to the readme on GH. The key (ahem) bits:

1. Create ~/.karabiner.d/configuration/karabiner.json 2. Put some stuff in it (my simple example below) 3. Install the app from the GH page.

Key definitions are in the source code, but if you check the Issues discussion on the Elements project, you'll probably find good examples to send you on your way.

Sample karabiner.json: { "profiles": [ { "name": "Default profile", "selected": true, "simple_modifications": { "right_option": "delete_forward" } } ] }

Elements is a bridge while the main project is rewritten. (It's in the name..."elements" of the original project.)

They stated in several places that it can't be "temporarily" fixed due to major structural changes to (I believe) the keyboard driver in Sierra.

Also pretty sure that Karabiner has been free forever. (Donations accepted, but you know how rarely that happens.)

Just keeping the record straight, as someone who loves the app and, yes was temporarily inconvenienced, but bravo to them for rapidly putting out something to tide users over.
